The registration statement for the Managed Futures Fund was first declared effective on January 30, 2013 but the unlaunched offering was subsequently terminated on April 24, 2013. The Fund has had no other operations prior to June 3, 2014 other than matters relating to its organization, its registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the sale and issuance to ProShare Capital Management LLC (the “Sponsor”) of ownership shares at an aggregate purchase price of $200.

The other twenty-one funds in the Trust are not the subject of this report.

The Managed Futures Fund seeks results that, both over a single day and over time, match (before fees and expenses) the performance of the S&P Strategic Futures Index (“SFI” or “Index”). The Index was developed by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) and is a long/short rules-based investable index designed to capture the economic benefit derived from both rising and declining trends in futures prices. The SFI is composed of the SFI Futures Contracts, representing unleveraged long or short positions in futures contracts in the commodity and financial markets. These Underlying Futures Contracts were selected based on fundamental characteristics and liquidity.
